Abstract:

Understanding the role of the qadi or judge helps explain the evolution of judicial administration and its specific features in Al-Andalus and the Islamic West. The object of this volume, XVIII in the Onomastic-Biographical Studies of Al-Andalus series, is to focus on Qadis located in the geographical area concerned and highlight their biographies. The works collected here examine the relationships between Qadis and the powerful, other judges and society as a whole; they include a study of Qadis’ legal training, their political and economic aspirations, the criteria for their appointment and dismissal, and analyse certain judgments conditioned by political power, and the role of women faquis (experts in Islamic law), who carried out outstanding scholarship in the predominantly male world of religious and legal knowledge in Al-Andalus.
